SERMON TO YOUNG WOMEN.
Rev. R:' Fulton Irwin concluded a
series of forceful and practical serm-
ons with a strongly pointed, address
to young women on Sunday evening,
taking as a text, Psalm 1l'4, 12: "That
but' daughters
y may be as' corner
stones polished after the similitude
of a palace. He said, if the writer
liad been a Grecian, we would have
understood clearly his meaning. The
Greeks loved beauty in art and arch:-
tecture, but David was a Jew and the.
Jew, believing the second command -
menti did not make graven images..
The
writer probably had it his mind
the beautiful pillars of the temple and
expressed his ideals' ofwoman fin th's
waye The true woman fulfilling her
mission in the world. The speaker
said he did not know we had gained
as much from our Christian civiliza-
tion as we sometimes think. In physi-
cal strength and endurance, our wo-
men are far behind the paean. women.
Every young woman should have
some tt'arle, business or profession by.
which she can earn a living, independ-
ent of every one else. By some per-
verted outlook, many parents provide
better fo"r the future of the boy, and
yet, if either deserve a fn dation fr
r
the future livelihood it is theirl It
y young woman.
is right for everg
tr,,
feel she is equipped to earn her •own.
breadand be independent of charity.
When the parents have to be taken
care of,it usually falls to the da+tli-
ter to • make • the sacrifice, God's
thought in creating Eve was tomake
for Adam, a helper, not a plaything.
It is this distinction throughout all
time that marks the women from a
mere toy. There are thousands of Dien
going through life single because
they find so .many women that are
play things, not helpers; who think of
nothing but "What pleasure shall I
have next?"
Men feel they are not able to fi-
nance that kind of extravagance and
butterfly existence. Sometimes young
women show interest and zeal in their
employer's business and such. are
usually promoted to positions of trust.
but sad to say, alongside of them are
frivolous ones with powder puff and
mirror, who •appear to think only of
three things—"When will Saturday
night come?'\ "When will I get my
wages?” and "When will I see my
beau?"—whose conversation is always
about these and cannot take the trou-
ble to give a decent answer to a cus-
tomer. The physical gulf between
men and women is largely due to the
conventions of society. and the lack
of outdoor exercise such as their brn-
thers enjoy. Owing -to this artificial
life, many girls are largely a thing of
the glass case and drugstore. Nature
is a very vigorous corrector, and na-
ture' never apologizes for what' it
says. Nearly every young woman
starting in life has a fair start if they
lead a clean life and are industrious in
their habits. Some young women and
their mothers are so blinded by ma-
terial things that they overlook the
morals of young men, and some of
them appear in the law courts. seek-
ing divorces, because their husbands
are practising the very things thcv
winked at before they married' them.
Men stand aghast at the extravag-
ance of modern, times. The social
service departmnt has discovered
that there are some young women
wh'o do not earn more than, a living
wage and yet dress in exneesive fur
coats, bought by giving bonds that
they will continue with the firm un-
til it is paid for. Sometimes then
iueep their bonds and steal away and
become fugitives from justice.
Mr. Irwin said that many women
of high ideals prefer to have "Miss"
written on their tombstones rather
than marry men who are not their
ideals of true manhood. He severely
condemned the dance hall as the
worst place to pick a wife; and warn-
ed against that apd the automobile,
giving the testimdny of several who
suffered. The only safeguard was to
associate yourself witli'Christ.
At the conclusion of the sermon
Mr. Frank Cudmore sang an approp-
riate and well -rendered solo.

gled over to the window and taken
her three children with her. A num-
ber of men held- quilts lest she might.
lose her head and jump, or drop the
children out. Words of encourage-
nient were shouted to herby both
men and wolnett. The firemen soon.
arrived and a fine old fellow named
Dean, who has been 28 years with the
department, went up first, _ took the
little mite and nesse, it to a fireman
!never down. He did the same with
the other children and then clasped
an arm .around •the w�iman's wa st

her over to 'any one. A very pleas-
